Welcome to a Small Town

One of the biggest things I've noticed since moving to Washington is that literally everywhere you go, you see somebody that you know. Let me first remind you that Tom and I have only been in Washington for a couple months. The point being that we don't even know that many people. If we already run into somebody every time we leave the house, what is it going to be like in 5 years? I'm not saying this is a bad thing; it's just an adjustment; just a part of life in a small town. So when I went to the gym this morning (we just joined 2 days ago), I was not at all surprised to see my supervisor on one of the machines. Of course I did the mature thing and made a bee-line for the women's locker room. I mean, the gym is an awkard place to run into somebody, right? I'm pretty pumped that I actually went to the gym this morning. One of the main reasons we chose this gym was because they have a pool. It's been a long time since I swam laps and I really enjoyed it. Of course I didn't have goggles though, so my eyes were burning from the chlorine for the rest of the day. I guess I'll add those to my WalMart list. One of the other things I like about a small town is how everybody says "The WalMart" instead of just "WalMart". I've noticed that I have picked up this habit as well.
I was really bored last night because Tom is out of town and there was nothing on TV, so I started watching The Ghost Whisperer. Has anybody seen this show? I never watched it before because I thought it looked pretty stupid and I'm not a huge fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt. Okay, it was really good. I'm not gonna lie, I watched a couple episodes in a row. It has a kind of crime drama feel to it. You should check it out.
